@russm Your account is very helpful as I am in the decision-making mode and considering TULSA. See my profile for details, but I have a 4+3 and a 3+3, negative PSMA-PET and a very large prostate. I've been in touch with the Scionti Center and will forward my test results and let Dr S advise about whether I can do TULSA. If I'm an "acceptable" candidate, it has a lot to recommend it for me. Good luck and keep those good numbers coming.

@tdgillett I wish you good health going forward. My prostate was 57cc prior to TULSA. I know some people who have a much larger prostate than I had. Dr. Scionti may want to check for calcification's within your prostate and perhaps send out your biopsy for genomic testing to Decipher. A calcification in the wrong place can deflect the the energy causing issues that might result in a return of the cancer. It is my understanding that most TULSA failures occurred in patients who have a calcification. Sometimes that can be worked around if it is small or not where the cancer is located.
